Sheikh Abd el-Qurna - Tomb of Kenamun

From Sennofer's tomb steps lead farther up the hill to the Tomb of Kenamun (No. 93), Chief Steward of Amenophis II. This is one of the largest and finest tombs in the cemetery, but it is badly dilapidated, and little is left of the superb decoration, painted on stucco on a yellow ground.

From the spacious forecourt we enter the wide main chamber, with ten pillars. Right hand entrance wall: the dead man (his name and figure everywhere obliterated) receiving tribute of cattle. Left hand entrance wall: the funeral rites (men drawing statues of the dead man to the tomb, women, ships, slaughtering of sacrificial animals). Rear wall: the King on his nurse's lap, in front of him girl musicians, etc. (on the right); on the left, Amenophis
